Fantastic Creatures - MEDUSA
🕑 Added 2021-07-03 15:21:42 +0000 UTCMEDUSA
In Greek mythology, Medusa was one of the three sisters monstrous Gorgons (Medusa, Stheno & Euryale), generally described as winged human females with living venomous snakes in place of hair. Those who gazed into her eyes would turn to stone.
Medusa was beheaded by the Greek hero Perseus, who thereafter used her head, which retained its ability to turn onlookers to stone, as a weapon until he gave it to the goddess Athena to place on her shield. In classical antiquity the image of the head of Medusa appeared in the evil-averting device known as the Gorgoneion.
Her name in Ancient Greek: “Μέδουσα” means guardian & protectress.
